Top 9 Asian food in Boston, Massachusetts, United States
Find out what Asian restaurants to try in Boston. Walk the Freedom Trail the first time you visit Boston, and you'll quickly get a sense of this coastal city's revolutionary spirit and history. But make sure you also explore some of Boston's fine museums (try the Gardner, featuring art masterpieces displayed in their collector's mansion) and old neighborhoods (like the North End, Boston's Little Italy). You can't claim to have experienced real Boston culture, though, unless you've watched a Red Sox baseball game from the bleachers.

After seeing the Surkuro Smoked Hamachi featured on, âThe Best Thing I Ever Ateâ, I could not wait to try Oishii and many other items on their menu which sounded delicious and innovative. But the fire and smoke are gimmickâs which are meant to cover the fact that the sushi itself is average at best. We tried the above noted Hamachi as well as the Salmon on Fire, and a few other items which did not impress. The quality of the sushi and flavors where lacking. The Avocado used in our rolls had black rotten parts (we pulled them out and left them on the plates...no mention from the staff). Black avocado is a big, âNo No!â I love sushi and donât mind paying a bit more for fresh high quality fish but Oishiiâs price point is extremely high and I cannot recommend after our disappointing experience.

I really enjoyed this place for lunch. Was very busy on a weekday with students and people who looked like locals. I had only basic Thai fried rice with chicken but it was delicious and no excess sauce. It was a very large portion for lunch. Will go again when I am back in Boston.

This is an excellent sushi restaurant thatâs walking distance from the Copley Square area. Thereâs parking next door which is convenient to use. I recommend focusing on the specials that are frequently available here; this offers the most unique preparations and freshest fish. In particular, donât miss it if they have the Japanese uni on the menu! One of my favorites. The agedashi tofu (always available) is also an appetizer not to be missed.

Arrived at 9:15 for our reservation and were greeted with an epic fusion of creativity, skill, execution and american asian influences mashed up into one. If you go, you need to get the corn on the cob (I know it sounds boring and the description doesn't jump out compared to other more eye catching options but trust me on this) and the pork belly spring roll without hesitation. We also really enjoyed the brussel sprouts which had a definitively asian inspired ginger/wasabi thing going on that really made them pop. We also sampled the cheeseburger rol just to see how they could possibly make a cheeseburger flavored roll gourmet. I'd say the least impactful of all the dishes but it was still quite excellent and would hold up well with anything we have in Omaha where we're from. 10/10 would go back. Great staff and atmosphere as well. Bathrooms secret MVP as they are across from some real badass looking lion door knockers in the hotel side. Not necessarily relevant to the restaurant...but very cool.Hello! Thank you for your kind words, we are thrilled to hear you enjoyed your experience at UNI and hope to welcome you back again soon,The UNI Team

This is a great Peruvian/Japanese restaurant. The restaurant fit out is stylish and there was a great buzz. With inspiration from South America the tapas style sharing menu had everything from sushi, sashimi, to yakatori and katsu dishes. The cocktail list had the usual classics and a great selection of pisco cocktails. The selection of sakes was small but of good quality. The grilled octopus, lobster ceviche and pork belly katsu were exceptional. Our wait staff were pleasant and nothing was a problem. All in all a great night!

This casual and unpretentious restaurant seems always crowded. There is a simple reason for the crowds: The food, drinks, service and atmosphere are all terrific. There are even vegetarian and gluten free menus. We would very happily return.

Very good experience: Reservation system is a bit odd (and reception staff not particularly friendly) and took longer than indicated ; hot pot was very tasty and came with lots of ingredients, generally of good quality; menu is huge and is certain to satisfy any demand; table service was extremely friendly and efficient; prices were reasonable for what was offered; I would return.

We are big omakase fans of Cafe Sushi in Cambridge and Sushi of Gari in NYC. So we are not strangers to creative sushi. So we thought we should try O Ya. Boy were we disappointed.This is not a high end Japanese place, not by any means. I would argue this is not even a Japanese place.Sure they serve sushi and the menu is filled with Japanese names. But the service, standard, sense, and value proposition is empathically not Japanese.The nigiri is all pre sliced. There is no art. It's just a fast moving assembly line. The sushi plates sometimes sit on the counter for a few minutes before a waiter comes to pick up and deliver. The rice was mushy. In the end we were counting our lucky stars we decided not to order omakase. We paid a total of 280 for 2 pax. We would have been livid paying for omakase and receiving whatever we received.Come here if you enjoy super loud music, creative tasting food (sometimes tasty, sometimes not), ok service, and decidedly un Japanese sushi experience.Will not return and cannot recommend.

I have never seen individual hot pots so if you are a germaphob, this is the place for you!There are assortments of meats including lamb and waygu beef, seafood, and vegetables that you can order with your hot pot. There are also many side dishes. I had quail eggs and tripe - yummy!It was my first time there so I didnât know you can just go with the House broth for free. Instead, we paid $4 for the mushroom broth. You can also get different broths like Chinese herb and kimchi and a few others.Overall, it was very good and not that expensive since it is in Chinatown.
